The rooms are large and comfortable, there's a... - Review of Dover Woods Guesthouse

Only a week to rest and to try and get to know Barbados a little. Dover Woods Guest house ticks all the boxes (clean, comfortable, relaxed, great value) but also provides a secret ingredient - the fun and companionship to be found with both guests and hosts alike. This was a huge part of the success of my holiday. Gail and Lorna are great fun, great company and happy to share their island with you. I got to know a little about Bajan life but will definitely be going back for more.

Room Tip: Look out for the green back monkeys in the garden

I had been told 'good things' about this guesthouse and Gail, the owner, but had not had occassion to stay there. I had room 11 on the first level, windows on two sides and ceiling fan made for comfortable temp. There are rooms with air conditioning available. My room had a private bath- shower no tub. Use of well stocked communal kitchen.Minutes to a local minimart that was open till 10 p.m. easy walking distance. Guesthouse is located at the Maxwell end of the area known as St. Lawrence Gap - lots of options for restaurants and night life within walking distance; also close to bus routes that connect to Bridgetown and south coast, also to the west coast without going through main terminal - trust me this is a bonus.Gail is the resident owner and she is friendly and helpful she will direct you to good value, great food establishments. Overall good value for a single or for a family holiday there is a lounge with cable television and an enclosed patio area for use by the guests. You may see and hear parrots and monkeys in the garden! Safe area, beaches are adjacent to the property or a short walk to Dover Beach.

Room Tip: Simply tell Gail what your needs and wants are

We ended up here by pure luck after being turned down by multiple better known hotels and inns due to being full or a three night minimum. Boy did we luck out. For a fraction of the price of other hotels we got a beautiful room in a house filled with character, a huge bathroom, a garden filled with fruit trees, and a great location near the beach on the South Coast. There's no AC but we never missed it due to cool breezes and a very effective overhead fan. I'm kicking myself for giving away possibly the best kept secret in Barbados, but I feel like I should try and keep my karma in good shape.

We have owned and operated Dover Woods Guest House for over twenty years. It is a big house in a beautiful garden, which is part jungle and contains many large trees, also and fruit trees. We have four large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a communal kitchen, living room and porches. We have a short path to the beach, we are close to the shops and action on St. Lawrence Gap, but far enough away to have peace and quiet....more less
